Researchers at the School of Medicine hope the findings will allow them to better identify and group tumors, University City Patch reported.
A recent Washington University study comparing stem cells from two parts of the brain yields , University City Patch reported.
Quoting from the University City Patch report:
Scientists showed in mice that disabling a gene linked to a common pediatric tumor disorder, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), made stem cells from one part of the brain proliferate rapidly. But the same genetic deficit had no effect on stem cells from another brain region.
